Testing build 2.29 196

Testing 2.29 196 build. Looks OK and memory management is better. Day 1. No issues.

online for a full day and no problems

I am presuming that you are using the x86_64 version of the build.

The aarch64 build is currently failing in its build and the reason is still being investigated.

Core Update 196 is in the Unstable tree and the definition of that is

Unstable - The current testing version based on “next” nightly build (may be incomplete / dangerous).

Everything that a developer does goes to the development mailing list. Patches are reviewed and fixed there and then selected by Arne for going into the next release. That process is important to only select patches that have been seen by enough people and pair them together to bake a nice update. This tree is called unstable and everything in there is literally that. Developers have tested the code, but it has not been tested by a wider audience.

You are welcome to evaluate the unstable tree but bear in mind it could result in some part or all of IPFire stopping working and needing to be re-installed.

Yah its Intel 64bit. I know its beta but I don’t mind as I know what I’m doing… most of the time. Its exciting like Christmas, as every build is fresh and new. If I run into problems I can simply revert. I’m a house user. Nothing mission critical and I can have it up in record time.

Thanks for a excellent product and the features are great.
